What Score pct (Off − Def) is

Share of the offense's drives that ended in points, minus the share of opponent drives that did. Possession efficiency on both sides of the ball.

Higher is better. It is a rate, so a team's number does not grow with games played. Source: P + N.

In 2022 the 49ers led at 16.26; the league average was 0.59.
